1383 Ren Xia
'Hey! Tian Yang! Tell me you aren't seriously going to let them follow us!? She's a crafty woman with ulterior motives!' Kulas asked him through divine sense.
Tian Yang sighed, responding, 'We might as well unless you can convince them to not follow us.'
'That's impossible! She's the type of woman to do whatever she wants. The only way to stop her would be to kill her!'
'Are you suggesting that we kill your fiancee? There aren't any witnesses here, after all.''
'O-Of course not. As much as I dislike her, I cannot justify killing her over something like this.'
'Right? Then we might as well let her follow us and guide us to the treasures.'
'I guess' Kulas sighed inwardly, feeling defeated.
'Also, they don't know my identity yet. Call me Xiao Yang for now.' Tian Yang suggested.
'Okay.'
Meanwhile, the ladies were having a conversation of their own through divine sense.
'Sister Ren, why do you want to follow them?'
'Are you trying to avenge Young Master Gu Lim?'
'Gu Lim? I couldn't care less about that idiot. I'm more interested in Kulas' friend.' Ren Xia said.
'That man? Why? He's essentially a wanted criminal at this point for killing Gu Lim.'
'Yeah. It'd be unwise to associate ourselves with him. What if the Immortal Gu Clan comes after us too?'
lightsvl m 'That won't happen.' Ren Xia said in a confident tone.
She continued, 'I also want to see what kind of person is worthy of Kulas' acknowledgment.'
'But I don't think that is worth offending the Immortal Gu Clan'
Ren Xia looked at them and sighed, 'I am not going to force you to follow me, nor will I blame you for leaving. This is my own selfish action, after all.'
The three ladies exchanged glances with each other. After a moment of silence, they lowered their head to Ren Xia and said, 'Sorry, Sister Ren, but we cannot afford to offend the Immortal Gu Clan. We hope for your understanding.'
Ren Xia shook her head, 'I already said that I won't blame you.
'Are you sure you want to follow them? You'll be alone'
'If you're afraid they'll do something to me, why don't you stay? If not, stop with the pointless worry and leave already.'
The ladies bowed to her again before leaving.
Tian Yang was surprised when Ren Xia's group suddenly left her alone.
'I thought they were friends?' he shook his head inwardly.
When she noticed the gazes on her, Ren Xia looked at them and shrugged, "Unlike me, those girls don't come from a background that is powerful enough to stop the Immortal Gu Clan, so they cannot afford to offend them. Moreover, you won't be as worried about my presence if I am alone, right?"
Sure enough, Tian Yang no longer had to worry as much now that Ren Xia was alone, as he was confident in dealing with her if any problem arose.
"I'm more interested in these treasures you mentioned. Tell me about them." Tian Yang said a moment later.
"Just like the first section, there are trials scattered around this place. Anyone can challenge these trials, but only one person will be able to acquire the reward. Moreover, these treasures are not limited to the tomb, so we can bring them to the outside world with us." Ren Xia explained.
"What kind of treasures are we talking about?" Kulas asked.
"..."
Ren Xia didn't respond, acting as though she didn't even hear his question.
"T-This bitch is ignoring me on purpose!" Kulas stared at her with a cold gaze.
"So what kind of treasure can we earn from these trials?" Tian Yang asked a moment later.
"From spiritual weapons to powerful techniques." Ren Xia responded with a calm smile on her face.
'Techniques!' Tian Yang's eyes shone with excitement after hearing this information.eastern fantasy
He lacked three things before entering the tomb. Talent, treasures, and techniques.
After spending nearly an entire year in the first section of the tomb, Tian Yang solved his talent issues, and acquiring Gu Lim's spatial ring somewhat solved his treasure issue. The only thing he lacked at the moment was powerful martial techniques.
'I only know some basic techniques from the Sect with the Immortal Rending Sword Strike being the strongest amongst all the techniques I know. Although I may have some talent now, I will still be at a huge disadvantage against those with similar strength but superior techniques.'
"Do you know any trials that award techniques?" Tian Yang then asked.
"Several," she nodded.
"I want to visit these places first."
"Okay." Ren Xia nodded. "I'll take us to the nearest one first. Follow me."
As they followed her, Kulas asked, "What are the chances that someone has already cleared these trials? And how long has it been since you left this place?"
"..." Ren Xia pretended to not hear him again.
"How dare you so blatantly ignore me do you truly believe that I won't touch you because you're my fiancee?" Kulas gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in anger.
However, Ren Xia continued to ignore him.
Seeing this, Tian Yang sighed inwardly before speaking, "I'd like to know as well."
"I left this place for about two months. Although it's not impossible, the chances of these trials being cleared are incredibly low. In fact, compared to the trials in the first section, the trials here are on another level of difficulty."
Tian Yang swallowed nervously after learning of this information.
Ren Xia continued a moment later, "With that being said, not every trial will kill you. You'll know what I mean once we arrive at our destination."
"By the way, we'll get there faster on a flying treasure. Do you have one?" Ren Xia looked at Tian Yang who quickly shook his head.
"Then I'll share mine with you."
Ren Xia retrieved her flying treasure that looked like a living white crane before patting the space in front of her with a charming smile on her face.
"Uh" Tian Yang immediately hesitated to share a ride with her.
Kulas then said, "Ride with me instead."
"Huh?"
As Tian Yang turned to look at Kulas, he summoned a large white tiger.
Tian Yang frowned upon seeing this and exclaimed, "You had a flying treasure this entire time?! Don't tell me it's the expensive kind that doesn't require replacement once it runs out of spiritual energy."
"It is." Kulas calmly confirmed.
"You rascal! Why didn't you bring this out earlier when we were in the first section?! It could have saved us so much travel time!" Tian Yang shouted in frustration.
Kulas responded with a teasing smile, "You never asked."
